He looked confounded, but there was nothing of the coward in his face. "Oh, well," said he, "I'll be goin', for ye've got y'r teeth all raspin'." As he went the two men laughed after him mockingly. "Wind like a bag," said Hatchett. "Bone like a marrow-fat pea," added Wiley. Macavoy was at the door, but at that he turned.
But Chavernay was not easily to be dashed from his habitual manner of genial insolence, and he answered, as mockingly as Lagardere: "Then I tell you what I told her: that I adore her." Lagardere eyed him whimsically, grimly. He felt disagreeably conscious of the contrast between himself in his shabby habit and the gilded frippery of this brilliant young insolence.
"Undoubtedly; we are six leagues from Frankfort." "Then we must descend." "Descend! you would not alight upon the steeples!" said the unknown, mockingly. "No; but in the environs of the city." "Well, it is too warm; let us remount a little." As he spoke thus, he seized some bags of ballast.
"Let us put it in that way, since it pleases you," said Tommy, heavily. "I am too stout." He could not help adding, "And be thankful, Lady Pippinworth, let us both be thankful, that there is some reason to prevent my trying." She bowed mockingly as he raised his hat. "I wish you well," he said, "and these are my last words to you"; and he retired, not without distinction.
"'Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," said Pricker, solemnly. "Another Bible verse," said Anna, mockingly. "The book is no longer fashionable; and it is not half so amusing as Voltaire." "Enough, enough," said Pricker; "now listen to my last determination.
Had there been but one dog, the submarine boy, with all his grit forced to the surface, might have chosen to face the brute, hoping to despatch it with a well-aimed kick. But with two dogs, both intent on “getting” him, young Benson knew that he would stand the fabled chance of a snow-flake on a red-hot stove. “Dat’s right, gemmun, yo’ keep cool,” observed the mulatto, mockingly.
She only wanted live things: dogs and cats, not even birds she was sorry for birds. Nancy's dolls were to her "children," and she was pleading now for an especial favourite and Joan was praying rather mockingly that God would let it get smashed because of "the proud nose." "But God makes children's noses!" Nancy was urging. "Well!
she let them down, and the Prince climbed up as usual, but instead of his beloved Rapunzel he found the old Witch, who fixed her evil, glittering eyes on him, and cried mockingly: 'Ah, ah! you thought to find your lady love, but the pretty bird has flown and its song is dumb; the cat caught it, and will scratch out your eyes too. Rapunzel is lost to you for ever you will never see her more.
George shouted, and seemed inclined to surrender; but the fun seized him, and, standing up in his stirrups, he gathered his coat-tails in a bunch, and waggled them with a jolly laugh, which was taken up below, and the clamp of hoofs resounded on the turf as Mr. George led off, after once more, with a jocose twist in his seat, showing them the brush mockingly. Away went fox, and a mad chase began.
"The best and most generous of men! He's a critic all critics are large-minded and generous, we know, but he happens to be remarkably so. He did me the kindest turn I ever had in my life.
